Contemporary Landscape Photographer


View of Rooke House, Looking Towards Highgate

Scott Mcfarland
 Born a Canadian in Hamilton, Ontario in 1975 he now works and lives in wonderful Vancouver. He studied at the University of British Columbia were he earned his bachelor's degree in visual arts. Scott combines both analogue and digital processes which in his work creates a fabricated yet truthful reality.  He takes several shots of a scene in different areas then reworks them making the shots superimposed before combining them all together. Scott as well as others are using the Characteristics of Documentary Photography to figure out the idea about of art and the Document. His themes seem to be things such as zoos, Private Gardens, and relationships between people as well as the history of art. I think though what cought my eyes was the way he captured the sky I'm constantly taking pictures of the sky and when I found his work ( the  Hampstead)
 the way in which he captued the shy I just loved it.
